Antler wrist guards. From the Prairies or Plains, North America. Before 1825. Wrist guards such as these are extremely rare but served a useful purpose. During archery, a bowman pulls the bow string taut then releases it to shoot the arrow, after which it slaps back, painfully catching the wrist. Inv. ET Am2003,19.5 (&Others).
